High-profile fishing lodge in southeast Alaska looking for a 200-ton captain and host for our mothership operation!
The Emerald Island Mothership is the moveable “fish camp” of Highliner Lodge, a premier saltwater fishing lodge located in Pelican, AK. The 91' steel Marco has 12 state rooms and plenty of creature comforts. From this home base, the Emerald Island offers guests a truly unique Alaskan experience, enjoying some of the best halibut and salmon fishing in the world by day and staying aboard the mothership at night, rather than commuting back to a shoreside lodge.
We typically anchor the vessel in a remote cove on the outer coast of Yakobi Island for trip durations of 4-5 nights with groups of 8 fishing guests at a time.
The Emerald Island serves two purposes for Highliner Lodge. In addition to fish camp, we use the vessel to transport building materials, groceries and supplies from Juneau to Pelican every 2 weeks.
This could be a fantastic opportunity for a semi-retired individual (or couple) to spend the summer living on the water in beautiful southeast Alaska. It could also be the ideal launching pad for an ambitious do-it-all candidate with an interest in charter fishing, ecotourism, cooking, mechanical work, or a desire to help grow our freight transportation business. Those interested in guiding will earn top dollar of $500-700/day in salary and tips, while a mothership host or cook might make $200-250/day in salary and tips but enjoy a much more relaxed schedule.
We will be operating the mothership nearly full-time during the months of June and August this year. Next summer, we anticipate running the mothership from June 1 through September 1 if we can find the right people to help us!
Qualifications/Duties:
-Must hold a valid USCG 200-Ton License (Near Coastal)
-Host groups of 8 guests between the hours of 6:00PM and 6:00AM

-Bonuses (travel, performance, referrals)
